errorx-conventions

Standardize Go error handling by selecting errorx types and enforcing safe wrapping practices across cmd/, internal/, and pkg/ directories to ensure consistent error construction and reduce lint errors.

Common migration traps when converting stdlib errors.New and fmt.Errorf to errorx wrappers include incorrect namespace selection and breaking sentinel error references, which this convention guides to prevent inconsistent error classification.

Declare and use sentinel errors with errorx types by following prescribed patterns that maintain interoperability with errors.Is and errors.As, ensuring safe error composition and actionable error reporting in production code.

Yes, errorx lint conventions apply to Go test files with specific exemptions and testing strategies, clarifying allowed lint exemptions for *_test.go files while maintaining consistent error handling rules for production code.

Map Go error shapes to the correct errorx namespaces using guidance that matches error constructions to appropriate namespaces, yielding actionable error reporting and improving error classification across the codebase.

Errorx standardization prevents inconsistent use of stdlib errors by codifying rule sets for error composition, enforcing safe wrapping practices, and guiding migration from errors.New and fmt.Errorf to errorx wrappers.
